Gotta love these FJs & that MKII its a great suppressor.

There fate is now sealed as infantry in trucks arriving & a couple more tanks.
2 MMGs move to tree line & hose down everyone conducts fire for few loses on either side but they are now outnumbered by more than 3 to 1 & all routed. Squad out of foxhole was killed.

Elsewhere
Infantry moving down bank have fanned out & are now slightly ahead but can see AAMG & a squad. 4 tanks are with them.

AAA fire has intensified 1 other AAgun location found & a Char but not where I expected he is about 15 hexes back from the bank. A plane took light damage.

Artillery fire has died down its finaly switching targets & mortars have started firing in support of OK Coral, final bunker is damaged & took 6 casulties but I lost a couple of trucks in landing zone plus 5 routed squads probably with some damage. Final landing commencing next turn.

2 PSWs & 3 Pioneers reloaded & on route to tank formation. 1 of the pioneers is badly damaged so will only be used in a last ditch attempt as his kill chances are not to good. Have a second ammo truck in place now.

Should have left a few more trucks on far bank stuff is getting out of range of some arty now.
